Do I need a tetanus shot?

2021-07-18 09:34:11
I accidently pricked myself in my scalp while putting a hair clip on and I already had a minor injury there and due to that prick it again opened and a little blood came out.. I had my last tetanus shot 6 years ago... So do I still need to go and get one ??
